Joes cruise to innings win

Under 19 Cricket

by Reemus Fernando

St. Joseph’s cruised to thumping innings and 43 runs victory over St. Thomas’ Matara to have realistic hopes of earning a top position in their group in the Under 19 Division I Tier ‘A’ tournament at Darley Road on Monday.

The Joes took the remaining four wickets of St. Thomas’ second innings within eight overs in the morning to record a comprehensive victory.

Spinner Yenula Dewthusa bagged nine wickets including a five-wicket haul in the second innings and Lahiru Amarasekara took three wickets each in both innings.

St. Joseph’s were placed third behind St. Sebastian’s and Mahanama in their group prior to the match but will now overtake Mahanama to occupy the second position. While both St. Sebastian’s and Mahanama have finished their quota of matches (5), St. Joseph’s have one more match to further improve their position.
